can anyone tell me what model this front end is from, and how to go about getting it for my f150, or do I need to go a different route to accomplish it?

 

I think the fenders are off a f 700 ,they are coool

 

I believe that truck belongs to a member here.

 

no you just need the grill and front fenders from a f700. Not sure what you have to do to get it to bolt up but i'd guess it would.

 

That truck belongs to 78_f800crewcab4x4! He's around all the time, hopefully he'll see this and chime in. It can be assumed it's the front end from a '78 Super Duty truck. As for putting one on your F150, it can probably be done if you have the fabrication skills, but I have high doubts that it's very easy. The frames and most measurements would be completely different, I've never seen anyone put those fenders/grill to a light duty truck before.

 

F-600 and up. The hood is different too. See the lip in the front so you can open it? Yes, he's a member here. That truck is cool. It's more than just a bolt on deal. Doable, but not simple. The biggest thing you need is ground clearance. That front end is TALL.

 

I hope, cause I'm curious.

 

You could always PM him and ask what was required. Or let him know about this thread so he can come here and tell all us interested people

just did. thanks rolling.

 

If you are really interested I can give you step-by step instructions. All info, whatever. front end is from a Ford f500-f7000 73-79

There are a lot of things to modify, and several routes to take. I could write 3 paragraphs on this, but I think I need to know what you want your final result to be.

there are two ways to do this mod, the best way and the easy way.

 

I`m not planning on doing it to my current truck, so I`ll wait for shameless to tell you what he`s looking for. By the way, does your Super Bronco have 5 ton rocks?

Anytime

 

yes. detroit locker in rear and hydraulic steering.

 

well, I was more curious how hard it was to do it, if it was just modifying the cab mounts and radiator support, or if it was a lot more to it than that, I'm assuming the latter?

 

essentially, its just modifying the mounts for the body, and a custom mount for the bigger core support. Front clip will bolt on to the cab and look factory, except for some inner fender trimming which I did, and if you have a/c you will need to trim more of the inner fender so it clears the big box on the firewall. I have custom mounts which locate the cabin exactly 6 inches higher, allowing for clearance of the grille and core support at the front of the frame. I suppose you could just lop off the front frame horns and make a drop in the frame to accommodate the difference, but I also needed clearance underneath the whole body for the Rockwell t case, custom fuel tank, and for a dozen other reasons including the ducting for the factory air scoop and possible future installation of a really big diesel.
